PROPER NAMES IN THE FUNCTION OF COMMON NAMES AS MEANS OF EVALUATIVE CATEGORIZATION


Author:  E. O. Parshina

Abstract
The article focuses on the analysis of the evaluative words category, represented by proper names in the function of the common ones. Metaphorical transfer is a complicated process of forming an evaluative sense. An appeal to the knowledge structure evoked by a proper name as well as linguistic context is of high importance for the interpretation of the meaning of deonims.

Keywords:  proper names, deonims, evaluative words, metaphorical transfer
